Experiment with conductivity in metals, plastics and photoconductors. See why metals conduct and plastics don't, and why some materials conduct only when you shine a flashlight on them. This simulation of a Conductivity is from the Physics Education Technology website of University of Colorado....

Pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as you change the volume, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other. This simulation of a Gas Properties is from the Physics Education...

This 6-page resource, from the STEM Guitar Project, is an activity on the physics of music waves. "This activity will help the student understand how the tension of vibrating components and the length of vibrating components on a stringed instrument affect the instrument's pitch." Students will also...

This webpage from Iowa State University provides information about the physics of nondestructive evaluation. Nondestructive evaluation methods depend on principles of physics to detect issues within an object without causing damage. Information for the following principles are included: the atoms...

This 16-page report outlines how Norwalk Community College (NCC) plans to fulfill its mission "[t]o increase the enrolment and retention of women in Engineering Science and Technology Studies programs."
